Once you've updated your sources lists from online and switched to Woody, you're likely going to find none of the packages on CD are considered up to date. This is among the reason few seasoned Debian users install from CD -- base tarball plus boot floppies is generally sufficient, packages are snared over the 'Net. No, you haven't screwed yourself.
